This was day two in Dublin and since we had only traveled with hand-luggage, i reworked the jeans and jacket with a t-shirt and converse!

I think this gives the jeans a totally different look!

I have NEVER traveled this light before and i must say its liberating!! My husband will be thrilled to know that i could do it again! ONLY for a weekend break tho!!

Hope you are having a good week, cant believe how fast it has gone!

Bring on the weekend!

This was the day that we took my Fathers ashes over to Dublin to scatter them.

We found a beautiful spot along the river inside the Memorial Park, right next to a small waterfall, surrounded by pretty trees and wildlife.

The sun shone brightly and as we scattered his ashes in the the water and as they hit the water they turned into sparkling gold dust! It was really beautiful! As we sat by the edge of the river remembering my father a large regal swan swam past so peaceful and perfect. It was the perfect day to say our final goodbyes.
